| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Naval aviation went through a transitional period in 2012 as it struggled with the specter of upcoming budget cuts and fiscal uncertainty brought on by congressional dysfunction. The year started off on a high note as the F-35B program was released from its Secretary of Defense-imposed two-year probation period a year early. But reality began to sink in as the year ended, and one after another fiscal milestone was passed without a budget in place for procurement and operational necessities. Almost every program was faced with monetary cuts, and some were either merged with others or shuttered altogether. |
